Re:Ask HN: At this point, are PUT and PATCH helpful?
on Monday June 21, 2021 @10:38PM (#27587338)
Hi,
Yes, it matters. You're misusing POST in the first example.
C = POST R = GET U = PUT/PATCH D = DELETE
Doing anything else is an anti-pattern for interop on the web.

centralized vs distributed; it's an outdated straw man. microsoft is ironically a proprietor the problems you get from misusing web tech in a centralized app (ie).
Re:AirPods Max, you are comparing it wrong

My immediate response was also "No! Airpod Max shouldn't be compared to most popular ANC headphones, they need to be compared to wired Focal or Hifiman!".

it's very easy to cherry pick a chart that supports a statement, but if you consider infection rate, death rate, lack of support infra, etc., there is no chance herd immunity would work.
You'd have to ignore the cascade through the population. It really doesn't help that a large portion of the population thinks it's a lie.

This is the worst fan fiction I've read in awhile.
>4% of the USA has been infected; you're not getting herd immunity... you never were going to get it. it would kill your population before that could happen.

Keep learning. Customers don't care if something adheres to SRP or not, they just want the output - if it works (good enough) you might get repeat business.

Re:Ask: Will coding ever be made redundant?
on Friday November 02, 2018 @09:28AM (#18362825)
Code is just instructions, so ... yeah humans can totally be replaced with something more efficient & better... but what does 'better' really mean? is the output lower latency? higher concurrency? did it do something amazing with little resources?
I've only been in the industry 20yr, but I've met a wide range of people with different goals that drive many factors of many outcomes; as long as people are in the picture stuff is going to be inefficient from 1 pov, while at the same time human diversity can be a huge pool of talent/skill/creativity that a code generator can't have by design (it's solving for efficiency).
It would be a mistake to think things are never going to change. I think it's more reasonable to plan for change and try to keep a head of it by being relevant in a field that interests you, and has demand.

deep breaths, and try to chill. when you need help, simply say "I need help" and that should be a trigger for someone to change context and actually help you, if they can.
not asking for help is the biggest mistake you could make.

Re:Ask HN: How can I become a 10X engineer?
on Monday October 15, 2018 @07:10AM (#18218778)
practice like a pro athlete. the common belief that you need 10k hours to master something is imo, applicable to a 10x dev. when you hit 10k, if it's only during work hours you've likely mastered whatever mattered to your manager/org in that time frame, but that is not always transferrable or valuable to a new manager/org; practice is though.
practice creates experience, and if you have the resolve to push yourself out of your comfort zone and learn to master new areas, you should find yourself able to do things quicker than people that aren't familiar with the problem domains, easily attaining a 10x output while not creating problems.

Some cities were wood, and they burned. My concrete condo is in the burn path of the 'great Ottawa fire'. Wikipedia doesn't have enough pictures, worth googling.
